A grand world is an empty stage without players to walk upon it. In this episode of Lore & Love, we move from world-building to character creation, exploring how to craft heroes and villains who feel less like game pieces and more like people with a soul. We discuss how to use archetypes as a starting point, not a destination, and dive into the techniques that give characters depth and drive.Using detailed examples from the Storm Kin Saga, we'll apply the "But Why?" game to uncover the true motivations of a character like the warrior Evandar, and we'll explore how to create a compelling fatal flaw that is intrinsically linked to a character's greatest strength. Learn how to transform a simple archetype into a complex, relatable person whose internal conflicts are as compelling as any sword fight.
